Our Story
-
Created from an exploration into space and memory and inspired by the nuanced language of nature; OWIU now brings their aesthetic philosophy into the home through their ceramics and home goods line. OWIU creates keeping in mind that a ball of clay is only activated by human experience, made beautiful when molded with emotional and creative intervention, and meaningful through the maker’s interpretation.
- HUMANITY
- HONESTLY
- CONTEMPLATION
-
Established as an architecture and design firm, what started as a team building exercise became a living, breathing practice for the company asa whole. Each piece is carefully designed and handmade by an OWIU team member in the ArtsDistrict studio. No work is outsourced and no two pieces are alike. Each collection explores the texture and emotion of materiality through the functionality of everyday objects.
